If you were to put together items to cover in a boater safety/courtesy course, what items would you feel are important to include?

I thought of these items off the top of my head but I'm sure I'm missed a few:

Backing down launch ramp Launching the boat Re-loading your boat onto the trailer General functions on the boat (covering all switches and boat functions) General maintenance of the boat and trailer (including each use, and general upkeep) Proper weighting and speeds of the boat for wakeboarding, surfing, etc.

Not pulling up in front of other riders Not doing power turns (and why) Keeping a respectable distance from other boats, docks, riders, etc Towing a wakeboarder, surfer, other water sports Driving double-ups State / Coastguard rules and regulations
